While Derek Jeter and the Yankees remain at an impasse, Mariano Rivera is quietly closing in on a new contract that will pay him $17 million.

Rivera, 41, is seeking a two-year deal but the Yankees have not yet agreed to go beyond one more season for their iconic bullpen closer, though they haven’t balked at giving him a raise over his previous $15 million stipend.

Jeter is a different story. The Yankees have offered their captain and shortstop a three-year, $45 million deal and have been firmly insisting they will go no further. Jeter, who earned $21 million last season, wants a six-year deal for $23-24 million a season.

The Yankees believe their offer goes far beyond what the open market would bear and the rest of the baseball world seems to agree. One executive suggested that a “two-year deal at about $10 million a season” would be the best Jeter could hope for from any other team.
